10-Presentation is everything. At work-purchase a nice mug or cup. Take a break and enjoy. At home: try a cup and saucer. It is such a treat.

11-Try a new shop-Some of the most obscure places can be the best. If you are in New York, try a tiny shop called Ceci Cela , a little French shop that will make you feel like you have died and gone to Paris.

12-BYOT-Bring your own thermos or travel mug. Make your coffee at home just the way you like it and put it into a thermos. You won’t have to drink the office swill again.

13-Try it different ways—Try black if you’ve never had it or vice versa. Try lots of cream or evaporated milk and no sugar—I wouldn’t have it any other way.

14-Some like it hot—Whenever I drink coffee out, it is rarely hot enough because I use lots of milk or cream. So when I am at home, I always hit it with another 30 seconds in the microwave. Don’t be afraid to ask for this in your favorite restaurant either.
